Description
Purple passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) starter plant. Also called maypops, a quick growing perennialpassionflower vine native to the southeastern US. Can be grown to zone 5, maybe even 4 with great protection and care, but often they won’t come up till early summer in these areas. Beautiful flowers. Host for zebra longwing and gulf fritillary butterflies.
These have gone dormant for the year, but still have excellent root growth and can be planted anytime the ground isn’t frozen. Just treat as is though it were still growing and water through any prolonged dry spells. They will continue to grow roots for next season, despite having no foliage. If ordered in the fall they may still have some foliage or yellowing foliage but in late fall or winter will just be old stems. Planting dormant plants is a great way to get plants established for next season!
All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4″x4 1/2″ May be planted in the pot or removed .
